Yep. Bigtime idiots for not using hindsight in the draft. Hopefully, they are using hindsight for this one.
Honestly, ^^ those draft misses aren't nearly as bad as Kosta K00f instead of Ibaka and Batum.
top dynasties
1. 60's celtics
2. MJ's bulls
3. showtime lakers
4. 50's lakers
5. shaq/kobe lakers
dynasties must win back to back and must dominate the league for long stretches. dynasties defend their title. that's very important. because it's always tougher to defend your belt. i don't even consider bad boy pistons a dynasty. they went 3 straight championships and won 2. this Heat is also not a dynasty. they went to 4 championships in a row and won 2. and one of my favorite teams bird's celtics weren't a dynasty. like spurs they couldn't put together a back to back championships.
and this is not just my view point. many basketball historians feel the same way too. but never say never. they have a chance to be a dynasty. timmy looks like he has 2-3 years left in him. manu & parker aren't done. and they have young star in kawhi. they have chance to make this much more special than this.
LOL.
We wiffed on the Finals MVP.
Those 2 drafts were brutal. Taking haywuss over George and Burks over Kawhi. Could you imagine how devastating we would be right now with Kawhi at the 3 and George at the 2?
That's why i say, DL has a lot to prove. Historically, we're really an avg/below avg run organization.
I want to see DL either move up and obtain 1 of the big 2 or stick at 5 and then upgrade the 23rd pick.
it's ok!! we gonna get gordon! he will be our kawhi
Why do you always have to list everything? Your schtick with the sizes is more than enough.
And why are your posts nothing but negative even though they mostly have LOL in them. Is it your way of sarcasm?
To be fair, he looked really good in college. Could score, was tall, had 3pt range, rebounded well. Looked like the 2nd coming of Okur. Just sucked *** in the NBA because he had 0 confidence and never learned how to deal with NBA athleticism and size.
Fine.
Then we need to desperately upgrade that 23rd pick. Gotta get ourselves a shooter or two. Get Michigan's Peja or draft Payne to push Kanter.
Then, bring over Neto and begin developing him. There's some opportunity here for us to make some noise. Several big markets are a mess. If we make strides here we could be making some noise in a few years.
Looked like the 2nd coming of Okur.
i like that.
#23+#35 for Pejauskas at #15 ish. let's make it happen.
It's the truth.
We missed out on players that most of this board had been advocating we draft.
If you don't like my posts there's always an ignore button.
I won't miss you not reading my posts.
Time for you to put on your big boy pants.
I'm not slamming the reasoning behind the decision-making-- just calling a spade a spade,
If Kawhi were to win MVP, he would be the first player to win it while not being an All-Star.
Finals MVP/No All-Star-Same season: '73 Willis Reed; 78 Wes Unseld; 81 Cedric Maxwell; 89 Joe Dumars; 04 Chauncey Billups; 14 Kawhi Leonard
I heard the quoted phrase from a Turkish announcer but he was wrong.
Kawhi MVP?
